Who will the Chicago Bulls select with the No. 18 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft? K.C. Johnson names a pair of potential targets.
Johnson said that Bulls management will likely aim for some continuity with its core entering next season. If LaVine, DeRozan and Vucevic are back in the fold with guys like Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso and Patrick Williams, who can the Bulls look to add with the No. 18 pick?
Shooting, bench depth, rim protection and two-way ability are among the traits Johnson believes the Bulls will seek out of their first-round selection. As for prospects Johnson thinks can check those boxes in the middle of the first round, Ochai Agbaji and Tari Eason came to mind. Agbaji is coming off a year for the books at Kansas. The 6-foot-5 guard was a consensus All-American with averages of 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. To top it all off, he helped lead the Jayhawks to aEason began his college career at Cincinnati before heading to LSU for his sophomore campaign. He led the Tigers with 16.9 points per game and chipped in 6.6 rebounds, as well.
Agbaji and Eason certainly possess attributes that could help the Bulls, but Johnson also noted the quality that should stand above all else for the team: talent. “When you’re picking 18th, you don’t usually drive the draft board,” he said. “So you kind of just need to have your board and whatever player is the best talent available then slots to you.”
